34 | He Loved...

BEN
He loved feeling the bump. Ben would run his hands over the curve of your stomach, hoping to feel a kick or movement from his daughter. You both have always enjoyed cuddling together and your pregnancy was no different. In bed at night, Ben would hold you close, his hand resting on your baby bump. But his favorite moments were when he runs you a bath at the end of a long day. He would sit behind you and let you lean back against his chest. As the warm water soothes your aching body, he would gently wash you, chuckling at your stomach picking out of the water.

JAY
He loved the ultrasounds. Whenever you had a doctor's appointment, Jay was excited to see his little man on the screen; even though it was a blurry grainy image, it made the whole thing a little more real, His eyes fixed on the Image, watching the baby's little movements and hearing their heartbeat. You would look up at him and smile: the look in his eyes showed you just how much he loved the baby growing inside you. He would always ask for multi copies of the photos, for the family; telling you everyone needs to meet Baby Nathan.

FREDDIE
He loved interacting with the baby. Ever since Freddie's dad told him that he could interact with the baby while it was in his stomach, he kept finding new ways he could play with them. He loved talking or singing to the bump, but his favorite thing to do was gently tap the peak of his stomach a few times and watch in awe as the baby kicked back. The way his face lit up when the baby responded to him was perfect; made you smile bigger. Although he would never admit it, he was jealous of you feeling the baby all the time and wanted to bond with his baby himself; daddy and baby time.

STEVEN
He loved your growing baby bump. You often found Steven watching you, a small smile growing on his lips. His eyes fixed on your rounded stomach as he thought of the babies growing inside. He couldn't get his head around the idea that your body was carrying his child; let alone two little Beales. Although he saw the two babies during an ultrasound, he still didn't understand how your body could expand as the babies grew. He loved taking photos to show the growth of your baby bump and when you grew too big for your clothes, he always let you wear his.
